The Steps for How to Make the Easy Christmas Crafts: Paper Doily Cone Ornament:

Measure and cut the four 12-inch lengths of curling ribbon.

For this version, I used three different colors; red, green and gold; for the front of the doily.

The fourth ribbon for the hanging loop was green.

Examples below show using one color of ribbon.

Bend the paper doily in half again and make a small crease just at the center of the doily.

Form the point of the Easy Christmas Crafts Paper Doily Cone Ornament around the center of the doily.

The edges should meet with one inside the cone and one outside.

The clothespins are not necessary, but they come in handy for photography or if you need to put down the project for any reason.

Select three of the four ribbons.

Each side of the seam has four thicknesses of paper doily.

Pull the ribbons firmly but not too tightly. If you pull too much, the ribbons will cut the paper doily.
